I would welcome a handbook like this for individual or family use at home if hospitals become overwelmed and can no longer accommodate even seriously ill patients. The featured handbook looks very useful, but it's written for medical professionals in a hospital setting. I'm thinking about a handbook with instructions on how to do life critical procedures as best as possible with the resources one might have at home. Off the top of my head, one topic could be about the use of a bag valve mask[1] (as a "ventilator"), how to make one at home, when should it be used, things like that.

I'm glad info from China is filtering over onto the rest of the internet. So much vital information, especially about how to keep safe as an individual, is only available on WeChat in Mandarin.

Has any of this been collected anywhere?

I wonder what the handbook for the billions of people in hundreds of countries without adequate health care infrastructure is. Our data points so far has been from mostly dismal first world responses with capability to report skewed statistics due to system under testing. But the reality is, most of the world will respond to this outbreak the same way they did the Spanish Flu. It would be interesting to see outcome of the first post herd-immunity country.

That's a serious handbook about prevention and treatment, whoever to medical professionals or normal people. And it's more valuable to those medical in the fire line now, You still can watch the news about doctors or nurses treating potential patients without masks or any protect suit. It is a high risk to anyone, Once hospitals been infected even overwhelmed, We will be a very dangerous situation.

Perhaps People panic at the beginning in a piece of uncertain information about diseases, but now there is a handbook or practices something and some people have already experienced this and sum up some experiences, It deserved be paid attention to.

There's a Chinese tutorial of how to make ~n90 grade masks with HEPA and SMS non-woven fabric.
